Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

 

I wasn't on the ball enough this year to join any Halloween blog festivities,

 

but here are a few pictures anyway!

I really had fun combining Halloween and Dia de los Muertos
themes...



Next year I want to find some Day of the Dead and Saint votives...



and I really want to order some sugar skulls...



I hope I remember in time!

Here again is my sweet little pumpkin that Grandma Collier



gave me on my second Halloween...



So glad my Mom took good care of it for me, because I would have



used it year-round for collecting things...



Tadpoles in spring and other critters the rest of the year, probably...;^)




(The cool Edgar Allan Poe art card is from Susan of Flutter Before You.)

My dear friend Elaine made the lovely Halloween "make-do" for me,



and also sent the sweet little Mousie-girl with her bucket of candy corn...



(She also made the Kitty-girl last year!) ~ ♥

Fun planter-shoes and Marigolds ~



with a pink Chrysanthemum tucked in for good measure...



~

This pretty cone is also from Susan at Flutter Before You...



I was the lucky winner of one of her Halloween drawings last year ~ :^)

A flock of Vultures adorn my tree!

Black licorice "Crows" and Halloween Ghostie Peeps



I couldn't resist!



I think they should call them "Boos" or something, though...;^)

This plastic candy dish is from the early 1960s



(also well taken care of by my Mom),



a Woolworth's purchase...a whole 29 cents!



~

~




And lastly, cupcakes...(and marshmallow Skulls) ~



Don't worry, I checked first before adding the Marigolds...



(They're edible and have vitamins, but can be bitter!)



Since I can't have any goodies right now ~ I resisted, not even a tiny taste ~



Jonathan and his dorm-mates got the spoils of my photo-shoot!



That's all for now!



Have a fun rest of the evening, this All Hallow's Eve!



Love,
